You flame out on a 2nd rounder. Fine. Next year you can pick again and you may still get solid depth or allow or cut the guy and UDFA/low rounder a chance. You flame out on McNabb, Jason Taylor, etc and you aren't even left with a depth player and could have filled the roster spot with a cheap UDFA or role-player from FA for the same amount of production.

Well HIGH draft picks aren't really 'least costly method'. The least costly method is by hitting in the 3rd and 4th round where you are typically drafting for depth and you find starters. Also by sourcing and signing undrafted free agents. For example I heard Mark Dominick on radio earlier this week saying they looked at the undrafted FA this year as their '2nd draft' considering players like LeGarrette Blount a secondary draft pick. He said they scouted deeply the 2010 draft for impact players beyond the 7 rounds.
